Doddie here:

Of course I know all about internal seeds, as does my son.(after a 
trip to the ER due to his chewing on bird seed *sigh*)

I think some of the worse of the cause of his anaphalaxis over the 
years has been:

1.  eating chickens who have been raised on eating sunflower seeds...

2.  eating honey from bees that have pollinated a nut or seed 
orchard..

3. eating regular foods (like bread/milk/eggs/cheese that have red 
dye #40)...Sad, really, seeing as red dye is derived from insects 
95% of the time. This just discusts me as beets can supply quite the 
spectrums of "red"...yet business world chooses "insect dye" 
over "vegetable dye" ...*heavy sigh*

And finally, just to answer your question yes he has eaten 
watermelon....but only the watermelon I serve him...without seeds!
and yes, he knows what I serve him, and how and why..

GOF and OOP combined! LOL)
